PLEASED TO MEET YOUBond runs into Onatopp in a seemingly innocent driving challenge, but this casual competition between the driver of an Aston Martin (Bond) and a Ferrari (Onatopp) is the beginning of what proves to be a fiercely competitive relationship.

"This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine."

CAUGHT IN THE ACTThe best way to describe it is "roughly sensual", as Xenia and 007 do not share the same definition of safe sex. They do connect, however, in a spa complex, where Bond attempts to pump Onatopp for some critical information.

PROFILEFamke Janssen plays GoldenEye's feisty henchwoman, Xenia Onatopp. Xenia lives life "in the fast lane" and enjoys a good squeeze more than your average girl; using this to her advantage in a set of unique assassinations. Bond uses Onatopp as his connection to the man he's chasing, the head of the Janus Crime Syndicate, the person who is responsible for the destruction of a Russian secret weapons facility. In fact, Xenia works closely with rogue Russian General Ourumov to hijack the GoldenEye and deliver it to Bond's ex-partner, Alec Trevelyan.

Xenia later meets her end in Cuba, where she battles with Bond for the last pleasure. But, this final occasion, Bond gets on top of things. Xenia's mission is cut short when Bond dispatches with the helicopter she has abseiled from - with the pilot out of commission the chopper flails wildly and Onatopp is strangled between branches, still attached to the craft.
